Reaxys Updates – Summer 2011

August 24th, 2011

Reaxys was updated on 17 June, 2011

This release contains some enhancements to the Synthesis Planner and some new search fields which will further enrich Reaxys’ capabilities for organometallic and inorganic chemistry search queries. The key highlights include:

  • Support of Microsoft Internet Explorer 9, FireFox 4 and Google Chrome or higher. Using Reaxys with these browser options will result in improved performance.
  • New inorganic and organometallic search fields: Reaxys now supports searching for ligand formulas and element symbols. This further enriches Reaxys’ unique querying features in organometallic and inorganic chemistry.
  • Synthesis Planner update: the synthesis planner has been equipped with a navigation/thumbnail view pane in the bottom left corner of the planner window. This enables the researcher to keep a better overview of the plan, and provides faster navigation in large or complex synthesis tress.
  • Commercial availability information from CambridgeSoft ChemACX: Reaxys’ content has been matched with ChemACX from CambridgeSoft – all matching compounds are indicated with a new icon. ChemACX users can click on this icon to access the commercial availability information from CambridgeSoft via Reaxys.
